Current Courses:
-
Sys Eng 368 - System Engineering and Analysis I
The concepts of Systems Engineering are introduced through a project. Students work in virtual teams. The topics covered are architecture development, basic system architectural design techniques, functional decomposition, design and technical review objectives, and initial specifications.
Prerequisites: Graduate or senior standing.
Syllabus -
Sys Eng 401 - Model-Based Systems Engineering
This course covers the use of models to represent systems and the underlying system elements, components, etc. The systems modeling language (SysML) is examined to show and how it can be used to shift systems engineering from a document centric paradigm to one that is model centric. Topics also include executable systems architectures, model repositories, integration of models and information, and use of Model-Based Systems Engineering in a distributed system.
Prerequisites: Graduate Standing and either SysEng 433 or UML experience.
Syllabus -
Sys Eng 433 - Distributed Systems Modeling
This course discusses issues related to distributed systems architecting, modeling, analysis and representation, with specific focus on object oriented concepts for engineering design. Distributed modeling techniques and other model decomposition methods using simulation modeling and scalability issues will also be addressed.
Prerequisites: Graduate Standing.
